Mamorial Discrimination

It has come to my attention that STO has been discriminating against certain alien races. These races deserve as much love as any other alien race should. The races I'm talking about? The ones with 3 TRIBBLE. Lets face it, what STO needs is some more bewbies, the spice of the universe.

Now, I wouldn't press on about this but there are multiple times it's referenced. The main one was from the movies themselves. Proof? Here is the picture from Star Trek V - The Final Frontier (at 12 min, 16 sec):

There are also references in the first episode of Star Trek: Enterprise by Travis.

This is a serious charge. As the Star Trek world is all about equality, we should recognize all types of female species in all of their glory don't you think? I think you are discriminating along the bust and this is not acceptable. I think all types of races should be examined for the future of STO including these kinds.

Consider this an official complaint and will be filed if you don't show us the boobies. Thanks.

(This may or may not be a joking post)

    There are technical reasons for discrimination.
    It would take a lot of manpower, time and resources to create new versions of ALL outfits to fit with more exotic alien anatomy.

    3 is unlikely anyway. Animals are dual, everything mirrored down the center.

    You would need 4, or 6, or 8 breastuses, not 3

    as awkward as this subject is, i do agree that in terms of TRIBBLE, this game has always done them in a terrible manner. The sizing is bad, the way they look is bad, both in standard and open uniforms, they're just awful and should get their own revamp. I'm not asking for a jiggle effect or anything weird like that but for the love of Female anatomy, at least make them look natural, don't make them look like something stuffed in a vacuum sealed uniform.

    While i'm not the biggest fan of adding additional TRIBBLE, i do feel that it would be nice to add various species females that wouldn't have them, like the gorn. It would just be nice to get a more natural and realistic portrayal of TRIBBLE instead of the incredibly awkward things most characters are running around with at the moment.

    Paired Mammories are the result of Bilateral Symetry.

    An Alien based on Trilateral Symmetry could have 3.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    What bothers me more that in the whole galaxy the only intelligent races are mammals?

    Where's all the reptiles and birds at?

    I think complaining about fake discrimination in a video game is pathetic when the real deal is happening in that thing called real life.

    Actually, the Galactic norm would be evolved Theropods.

    No Mammals whatsoever.

    Witness humanities empiric rise to greatness, not.

    I'm still wondering why saurian females have TRIBBLE? These are reptilian females, not mammals, therefore they should not have TRIBBLE at all. And while we are on the subject, those furries that people love that are based on cats should have six TRIBBLE since they are based on felines. At least try to get the ones in game to be accurate before we worry about getting other varieties into the mix!

    i can explain saurian TRIBBLE as fatty deposits to store energy for the body in times of food shortage, the reason saurian females have TRIBBLE now is because of the easy access to food via replicator

    and i don't agree with the feline races getting extra TRIBBLE, if they wer terrestrial felines then yes i can understand, but they're not, they're an alien race that evolved from a feline base. they may have had multiple mammary glands in the past, but have since evolved to giving birth to one or two offspring at a time so the extra glands were not needed and eventually were bred out of the gene pool.

    i also wholeheartedly agree with wraithshadow13 above, we need more realistic portrayal of TRIBBLE, they look horrible, my girlfriends and i all agree the breast geometry needs work, if the Devs need models we can always volunteer :P

    I'm always down for more TRIBBLE, but we REALLY should have the option to make things more *alien*-like (multiple appendages, eyestalks, etc)

    Although I doubt I'll ever make an Alien toon in STO, I support this. As I was reading the thread, I kept thinking, "Why only TRIBBLE? Why not arms, legs, fingers, eyes, -- even HEADS?"
